Sad news
"Orange Is The New Black" fans. Pablo Schreiber a.k.a. the Litchfield corrections officer with the perfect "Pornstache" we love to hate, will not be returning for Season 3.

The actor who played
George Mendez on the hit Netflix show confirmed his exit from the series in an interview with the
NY Post saying, "I'm not taking part in the third season. I'm a member of a show called 'The Brink' that's going to be on HBO. It's a half-hour comedy with Jack Black and Tim Robbins and me [as] the three leads. I'm really excited about it."

Schreiber justified his decision to leave as being a better career move, telling the Post, "I was never a series regular on 'Orange Is The New Black.' I was always a guest star. The role that I have on 'The Brink' is a starring role, and it's a no brainer. Absolutely, I chose to jump on board with that show. It was a better move for me as an actor."

Cheer up, "Orange" fans, there is still hope Mendez will eventually find himself back to regulate at Litchfield.

Schreiber says, "While season three is out of the picture, beyond that is open. I'm not a part of the third season, but going forward after that, we just don't know," he explains. "I would go anywhere that [Jenji Kohan's] working, and I know that our paths will cross again soon, whether it's on 'Orange' or on a future project."

Undoubtedly there will be a lot of "Orange" hearts breaking over this news.
